“Hizballah Top Dog predicts divine victory for Hamas”

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Hizbullah leader Hassan Nasrallah on Sunday ordered his resistance on maximum alert to confront any Israeli attack, and urged Egyptians to pressure their government into opening the Gaza crossing for “weapons” to Hamas fighters.”

SNIPPET: “Israel, Nasrallah said, has only “massacres and crimes for those who call for peace.”...”

Israel had good intel on its target list, caught Hamas with their pants down and Egypt is endorsing the liquidation of Hamas (no love lost by egypt). However, unless you put boots on the ground, the rats will crawl from their holes again. What sealed it for Hamas was the lack of Iranian support. Israel saw it as a sign of weakness and acted correctly.

“However, unless you put boots on the ground, the rats will crawl from their holes again.”

I agree.

[arthurus]

“They” are NOT fighting against terror. They are fighting against Hamas. Fighting against terror means there are no human enemies to fight, just some actions and an attitude. When people are killed fighting against “terror” it is immoral and evil because they are not the legitimate enemy. Terror is the enemy.

“Peres: ‘Anyone Asking Israel to Stop Shooting, Change Address’”
by Hana Levi Julian

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “(IsraelNN.com) President Shimon Peres said in a statement released to the media Sunday that it is time for the world to understand that Israel has been more than patient in waiting for the people of Gaza to come to their senses.

Detailing all the agony and subsequent fallout of the 2005 Disengagement from Gaza, Peres said, “The story is simple. Israel has left Gaza completely… The passages were open. Money was sent to Gaza. We suggested aid in many ways – economically, medically and otherwise… Still I have not heard until now a single person who could explain to us reasonably: why are they firing rockets against Israel?”

He added that in planning the current Operation Cast Lead, the IDF had been “true to its principles: namely, to be precise in its targets and careful not to hit civilian life.””

“The Lessons of Gaza”
By Steve Schippert
FrontPageMagazine.com | Monday, December 29, 2008

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “In early 2005, the Israeli Knesset passed the Disengagement Plan Implementation Law, which was the legal expression of Ariel Sharon’s desire to give the Palestinians in Gaza precisely that which they wanted and demanded; an end to Israeli occupation. But, true to its Charter, that is not enough for Hamas. For only the destruction of Israel and the creation of a first-time Palestinian state “from the sea to the river” will suffice. What has led to the ongoing and massive Israeli precision airstrikes within Gaza against carefully vetted Hamas targets bares this fact to be as true as the sea is deep.

One week after Hamas announced it would no longer abide by the six-month “lull agreement” between it and Israel, Hamas rocket and mortar barrages against Israeli towns, troops and border crossings wrought upon Gaza the most violent Israeli reprisal ever seen in the Mediterranean strip. Yet, even in its shattering violence, the Israeli response has claimed nearly exclusively Hamas terrorist casualties. The Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs released imagery and other intelligence explaining its target list.

Many of the targets were Hamas police facilities, where terrorists can and do receive official weapons and tactics training under the guise of law enforcement. This is why so many of the targets are listed by the Israeli MFA as terrorist training facilities that also contain detention centers and weapons stores. Dozens of Hamas’ deaths in the strikes were from the bombing of a facility hosting an ongoing graduation ceremony as the wave of attacks began.

Also key among Israeli targets were known Qassam rocket manufacturing and launch sites, often underground. These sites are increasingly strategically placed within civilian neighborhoods, providing Hamas with two useful advantages, in their eyes. First, placing them among civilian housing makes their targeting by Israel less likely, playing upon Israel’s desire to avoid civilian casualties. Second, if Israel does target them, it would then likely afford the Hamas terrorists and media coup with international news organizations which are more often staffed with journalists and editors more sympathetic to the ‘Palestinian cause’ than with Israel, Israelis and Jews – whose own civilian casualties are rarely met with the same anger and impassioned demands for an end to the violence.”

“How Palestinian TV is Covering the War”
By Itamar Marcus and Barbara Crook
FrontPageMagazine.com | Monday, December 29, 2008

SNIPPET: “As events in Gaza unfold, Palestinian Media Watch monitors the incitement and hatred pouring forth on Hamas Television. Below are several dispatches from the front, which tell a much different story than the one reported in the Western media. — The Editors.

Hamas Celebrates Targeting Israeli Civilians

Along with today’s TV propaganda in which Hamas depicts itself as a victim, Hamas continues to portray itself as the heroic killer of Israelis.

A video on Hamas TV this morning blended pictures of Hamas fighters shooting at Israel with pictures of injured Israelis and medical evacuation scenes.

In addition, the visuals include pictures of skulls dripping with blood, captioned: “Let them taste violent death.”

Other narrations and texts include:
“Send them to Hell! Tear them to pieces!”
“Send them to Hell, Qassam missile!”
